At The Beach Tanning Doesn't care about harming unborn babies. AURORA, Colorado

I don't usually get hostile on ROR because it's not worth my time. But you really are an idiot.  First of all, only 5-10% of all skin cancers seem to have a heritable basis. That information comes from the American Cancer Society, and I suspect they know more than you. No one in my family has had ANY kind of cancer so we can rule that out in my daughter's case.  Second, the heat of a tanning bed averages 102 degrees if proper ventilation and fans are used.  So although it gets hot, that's not hot enough to hurt the baby if you're only in there for about 15-20 minutes.  Third, I DO know what I'm talking about. And, as is my policy, I refuse to have a battle of the wits with an unarmed opponent so I'm done (probably).

Well first of all it's not the uv penetration it's the heat that can hurt the baby. Know what your even talking about before you start running your mouth and most cases of skin cancer is hereditary I bet you didnt know that now did you. Any exposure to uv light example the bright thing in the sky called the sun lol or a tanning bed. Your body has to have vitamin D or you would die.

If you dont have anything constructive the issue, stay off your soapbox and move on.

First, I don't troll the internet. I come to ROR to read about ripoffs that may pertain to me and, occasionally, to laugh at the idiocy of others (I'm not including you in that remark).

Second, when you post on ROR you subject yourself to comments from others. Be prepared.

Third, tanning probably won't hurt the baby as the UV rays won't penentrate. If they did, everyone would be cooked from the inside. But I still wouldn't take the chance.

Lastly, it sounds as if the corporate office HAS a good policy in allowing you to freeze your account. Perhaps it would've been useful to you to have a confirmation number or something else in writing that indicates your account was frozen.

I'm also curious as to the relevency of the lost debit card. Where they continuing to charge it as your posts suggests? Just because the card was lost doesn't mean you can't check your account online. Perhaps the first unauthorized charge would've clued you in that there was a miscommunication that needed attention.

This is about terrible company policies, not personal choices. I appreciate your input, and I am sorry to hear about your daughter, but I must ask why are you trolling the internet? This is my personal choice to tan, and it is JUST MYSELF in the tanning bed. Tanning pregnant is, quite obviously, radically different. Take a chill pill lady.

So you won't tan because it will hurt your baby, but you don't care about skin cancer? That's absurd.  I wish I could attach a picture of the cancerous moles my daughter had to have removed (at the age of 25).  One was so large and deep they had to cut through to her ribs.  She now has a nice big scar that detracts from her otherwise great figure (no bikini for her!).  Another was on her face, and she has a nice scar from that too.

When will women learn that it just isn't worth it???
